“This building has undergone and is still undergoing a series of renovations and improvements and they are a lot of things that are still to be done to improve our educational environment,” Robinson said. “So, we’re hoping to take this day of service to address some of those things that have gone lacking that need to be done.”

Volunteer projects also include student enrichment, art and murals, paint/clean up, repurposing and decluttering underutilized space. Wayne State University has dedicated 84 student athletes to volunteer at four schools.

Volunteers can learn more about the school projects and sign up at www.ComeBacktoDPS.com or by calling 313-240-4DPS (4377). The website lists both current and former school building names to assist alumni in identifying their schools.
